That one's got possibilities.

3 Wheel, standard big twin trans 5sp. Electric reverse ad on. Belt from engine to trans as normal primary set up with clutch. Final drive to diff from small car in bearings. Differential enclosed by metal housing. Sprocket in place of ring gear. Half shafts out to front wheels.
Still don't get it. Is the engine/trans ahead of the front axle? Is it behind the passenger compartment? How do you get the sprocket into the differential?

If I were going to build a reverse trike, I'd use this (Lexus) drivetrain. 98lb and 68hp. 10K RPM single-speed.
